he does the job well handled. as an entire family is why. we look at the methods being used by the army in its crackdown on the government resistance. a growing number of ukrainian troops revolt against the way the government is handling the crisis international we speak to some of the. who have sought refuge in russia. holds into its final days but israel and hamas failed to agree on an extension that's raising fears over a new bloodshed and that's already claimed almost two thousand lives.

a russian. smartphones are infected with the virus. to control them as if they were their own. a very good morning to you from all of us here at the international. live in moscow with headlines and entire family has been killed in shelling just outside lugansk in eastern ukraine graphic footage shows neighbors pulling out five bodies from a basement where they had been taking shelter it's reported a shell hit their house causing it to collapse beneath.

what does it give you. and craters like vis one just what residents in the small town of donetsk found after a very heavy bombing campaign. see what the rocket did will be will save us from. now kiev denies its using any banned weapons in its crackdown on the eastern provinces but let's check what they have been deploying creators for example like these ones here are left by ballistic missiles they strike a pre-determined target within a range of up to three hundred kilometers with a variety of warheads which clude chemical and holes for example like these in the residential areas in eastern ukraine are being caused by missiles from god and a powerful rocket launcher and strikes are seen as highly inaccurate and the area of damage can be up to forty two hectares and of course mortar shells have been

raining down on eastern regions for several months now causing this kind of damage when they hit their targets shrapnel explodes causing widespread destruction and wounds a military expert charles shubert she says whoever is arming the military and aiming these weapons should bear responsibility for the hundreds of deaths states on target to use weapons of course particularly if as they say they're acting in self-defense but at all times states have an obligation to safeguard civilians that means to say that they can't target civilians with these weapon systems and they can't target areas in which civilians if you like. predominate it becomes that it disproportion attack and of course the larger the weapon here we're talking about ballistic weapons. allegedly being used that have very large warhead it places even more onus of responsibility on those using those weapons to ensure that they don't disproportionate harm civilians and in these kind of urban battlefields that mock

the east ukraine yet if you like it's almost impossible to use those weapons without harming civilians and so again their use could be very easily described and could amount to a war crime and some ukrainian soldiers have been appalled by the methods used in the east almost five hundred troops cross the border to russia seeking refuge. financial and that some of them. but before when we were carrying the old military operations we were surrounded and we couldn't escape. the force in this new species the thing is we didn't have enough equipment to hold the enemy and that's why we made this decision. of

money on health for the soldiers were lied to they don't want to fight and many of them were grabbed from towns and villages and made to join an army. do you want to fight no no one wants to. know why does the war go on. i don't know no one knows if. they mix regular troops with volunteers and special units they can't go back because they'll be short days we killed them and they kill our citizens. but you know the ukrainian population is destroying itself and for no clear reason because on both sides we are to see people. we're winning and thanks to the successful anti-terrorist operation a country will soon be cleared of militants and mercenaries but just. what you mean by the army lies about losses because their losses are immense much they don't want to admit it and pay more money to families the poor shank promised. this turns camp

and russia's rest stop region was set ups passionate embrace the ukrainian military who crossed the border on sunday night one hundred eighty of them held a gun to ukraine two hundred fifty us to here facing an uneasy choice of what to do next probably if the court hears you're in our country accuse of us they could consider our streeter's we crossed another country's border i don't know. because i propose would begin with here's what i can see both whether i will go no i don't know what or certainly don't want to go home or how much they will be me when they allow you not back or this is a big question i don't know in the meantime western officials are claiming russia is planning to move troops into ukraine it's

something that moscow denies assays guy nature can now reporting on the arguments. speaking in germany u.s. defense secretary chuck hagel said there was the right old russian invading ukraine based on the buildup of brush and troops along the border u.s. and nato officials say there are now about twenty thousand russian troops massed just east of ukraine's border russia's defense ministry has the night such a buildup saying that the pentagon and nato will make up numbers as they go on tuesday pentagon spokesperson talked about ten thousand russian troops at the border the next day nato said twenty thousand carrying out such a maneuver within a day let alone secretly for monitors currently in the region would be impossible the russian defense ministry says under the open skies treaty u.s. and nato monitoring mission should be flying the russian regions east of the ukrainian border almost every week meanwhile russia is very much concerned about key of smily operation across its border involving twenty five thousand ukrainian

troops at this point it seems anything where she does even drills on its own territory prompt u.s. officials to talk about russia's threatening ukraine the state department said russians will supposed to ukraine are provocative and contribute to the escalation of the conflict there moscow asked the state department to check the map again the current drills are going on in the east of russia's astrakhan region which is roughly five hundred miles away from ukraine and the exercises were planned and approved last year some in nato believe moscow could at some point unilaterally decide to go into seeing ukraine as a peacekeeping force meanwhile moscow believes the u.s. and nato are only eager to hype up the tension with russia and ignore what's actually going on in the scene crane. and now western nations which imposed sanctions on moscow over the crisis in ukraine are no longer allowed access to rushers food market a whole range of sectors in the agricultural industry are affected despite the e.u.

un the us saying the step is counterproductive a political commentator for the e.u. reporter magazine. and she believes it's a move the west actually could have predicted when they put russia on the blacklist is the only logical answer because our as the president of a country our mr putin has to defend russian interests and if the voice of fresh in diplomacy is not heard and still there is no negotiated solution there is no there is no investment people are not really engaged into negotiated solution of ukraine there is no other answer than to have a sort of a mirror like reaction there europeans who will pay the bills it's not to bad news for russian speakers it's basically a very good news for russian agricultural producers because they will try to do their best to feel they got. the debate over the counter measures russia is taking

forty two year old pfizer was in her home preparing dinner for have family when her house was suddenly demolished upon her i asked if she felt lucky to be outside of dallas or receiving expert treat. it was situation in the gaza strip is an absolute disaster how can i feel lucky when my people are dying. over one thousand palestinians have been injured in gaza getting medical treatment outside of its overstretched health system is like winning the lottery three year old young mean a boob job or survived an attack on his family home in gaza as they gathered for the first night of the islamic festivals someone thought. an eighteen members family was wiped out leaving just this one child little yeah i mean still calls out for his favorite sibling his older sister he doesn't know she's being killed along with all the others

define sitting there in the number of rallies it's a choice of business but the number by party of the state you might have. so many brits the conflict in gaza is hitting close to home the latest you gov poll shows that almost two thirds of the british public sixty two percent believe that the israeli government is committing war crimes while the hof of brits see israel's bombing of the gaza strip as unjustified now the u.k. v.-day is under mounting pressure to outline a more robust israel policy of three four weeks of pictures of dead children of families been reduced to nothing homes as rubble of course said to be the attitude that the people start to take the british government should be has been quite surprising in how how resistant it is to which criticizing israel david cameron i mean when he was opposition leader two thousand and six much more critical about the invasion of lebanon even when he came into power he was much more critical but

this time it was a much more cautious response david cameron has backed the un's condemnation of israel's shelling of a un school shelter in gaza as a moral outrage but stopped short of agreeing that it was a criminal act as a strong pro is ready to go be it just so happens a lot of the rich donors of the tory party a more sympathetic towards his road than they are to how to stop these activists from london's palestine action group took a radical step. of an israeli drone manufacturer in the midlands calling for a boy cos of on sales to israel britain has issued forty two million pounds worth of arms export licenses to israel and downing street spokesperson has said that there's arms exports are now under review but ministers have resisted mounting calls to impose a blanket go on israel saying that it would hinder progress in the middle east peace process. are still to come here on the program the us is holding back

fund a russian i.t. company has discovered a huff a million phones from across the world are infected with malware allowing them ultimately your phone to be controlled remotely with everything from real banking poss words to your text messages could be spied on my colleague neil harvey spoke with a member of the company that uncovered this massive security breach. how do they feel like sort of imitating well known their. two well known companies they try to mimic to. go out deeds to well known are software applications and plugins. or sort of this and i'm i right in thinking that it's not just kind of reading your phone it gives them quite a lot of kind of control over it at the same time correct basically the get access to pretty much everything you have on your phone now or are these criminals that they use it to to mining via. is quite easy to imagine their. prime something in

interest in content to the least they could potentially use it to to do something more significant than just doing mining and i just wondered is that perhaps a good defense against this kind of. malware if you've got a very old fashioned the doesn't even connect to the internet then that this move your hundred percent secure would be your old phone and a computer science engineer and activist jeremy zimmerman believes that so many phones were actually spied upon they are being spied on because they were already designed for this purpose in mind. it is apparently the first time that we see on such a large scale a computer virus spreading on those so-called smart phones the real news here is the scale and the sophistication of this attack but by itself it is not really surprising there is very high responsibility from the manufacturers of the devices

whether it's the hardware or the software manufacturers in fact for the last two years there's been turning those book at computers into black boxes that we cannot open this closed ness of the device enables on one hand surveyance by governments as we see with the n.s.a. revelations by it was snowden and on the other hand enabled this kind of attacks that the user cannot suspect and against the user cannot do anything right over on our website r.t. dot com this hour from bad to worse at the fukushima nuclear plant that's out of a side zone a reveals the meltdown was even worse than previously thought meaning it could now take a lot longer to decommission full story online. we've got pictures from a devastating earthquake in china as the death toll there continues to rise at the images on these and other stories in the invision section of our website.

search string. and i think that you're. on a plane. good morning from moscow given a tip off about a large cannabis farm russian police expected little more than a routine raid on arrests to be made while they didn't count on however was a formidable army in the way taking up the story artes you go to school. it started as an ordinary drugs raid investigators were checking reports about wild cannabis growing on a private property in central russia the reports turned out to be true on the ground they found hundreds of marijuana plants some measuring more than six feet

tall that's around two meters but the other thing they found almost ruined the entire operation hidden in the bushes were beehives and as police officers began pulling plants from the ground these attacks this woman was stung on her face. thousands of angry insects the authorities had to retreat they were only able to finish the operation after putting on protective gear in the end they destroyed around five hundred plants the land's all it claims he knew it was cannabis but couldn't find the time to pull it out since he was too busy taking care of the bees now he's looking at up to eight years behind bars if it's established that weed was planted there on purpose let's get some other global headlines in brief at least one person killed and ten wounded in a splosion in the northern lebanese city of tripoli a homemade bomb was placed next to a car about thirty meters from an army checkpoint tensions have flared in tripoli in recent days as a result of clashes between the army and is the most militant. the world health

organization is considering declaring an international public health emergency as the deadly ebola virus in west africa gains ground the latest victim is a nurse who treated an infected patients in nigeria bringing the death toll now to nine hundred thirty two earlier liberia declared a state of emergency due to its rapid spread and ebola patients ultimately they suffer fevers sore throats as well as bleeding before and i can izing. through car bombs or crowded marketplaces and shia districts of baghdad killing fifty one the first attack was a double car bombing in a shopping area and then. later another car packed with explosives grew up in a nearby neighborhood sunni militants from the islamic state group which is threatening to march on baghdad thought to be responsible. a report into torture by the cia will be delayed a senate intelligence committee chairman accused the white house of censoring the

document saying now more time will be needed to fully describe the controversial interrogation techniques used by the agency dianne feinstein says the government redactions were distorting key facts of the initial report she says it will not be published until she is satisfied that the much anticipated report of more than six thousand pages expected to expose the brutal torture practice of the bush era acknowledged by president obama last week. we tortured some folks. we did some things that were contrary to our values. and during the press conference however obama also defended the cia saying the agency was just doing its job u.s. journalist and historian douglas valentine told us the government is likely to keep dilly dallying with the report in order to. the ugly truth. well there is a lowball a legal and also psychological reasons for the administration to try

and keep this is the narrow. undisclosed is possible there are concerned about what will the american public think of this report so they're trying to contain the damage as most as most of all simple basically along with would certainly be constrained be only the notes on the administrative things mine is how can we do this and maybe american people think we're responding to their their desires and their needs and of course you have to realize the government doesn't really care and it's going to continue to do all the things it wants to do anyway it's just going to try to make this report look like it has the interests of americans at heart well thank you very much for joining us here in austin international we come to you live from moscow often although we're back with the top of world headlines for now it's abby martin and taking a look at why so many average people on the actual watch list of america well

they're being targeted and nobody seems to know why. during a press briefing president barack obama said something very unusual and used a certain term you'll almost never hear from a government bureaucrat he told the audience that in the immediate aftermath of nine eleven we america did some things that were wrong we did a whole lot of things that were right but we tortured some folks here it is a rare thing to hear someone in the white house admit to torturing people after nine eleven but the question is why did he say this now please allow me to suspect first obama is the teleprompter masse. since you love to read off screen i doubt this was some sort of slip up this was probably done consciously but why well it

always helps if you look good by condemning the moral failings of previous presidents liberals and democrats love to hate bush so this could be subs kind of pandering or trying to look good by comparison headlines like obama condemns torture sounds nice and drown out the fact that he sure approves of shelling civilians eastern ukraine if obama really does feel that the post nine eleven torture was a shameful part of american history that as the leader of the executive branch of the nation he could do a lot to punish those who did the torture then and prevent it from happening again the future but if i do obama this is all just a bunch of sweet talk but that's just my opinion. in justifying their stance they're citing all sorts of what they see as international precedents in costs of the upcoming referendum in scotland but the response that they're hearing from the one thing is that what you're doing is illegitimate but what we've been doing is just a little like

a measure if you break into their story good luck america does is right rules are made for other people for centuries like russia or countries like this trace. back whatever america does is right because america doesn't. welcome to break in the set i mean martin well it's been over a year since n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden's massively made international headlines in the revelations haven't stopped not only have we become privy to the vast spying on american citizens and heads of state but we've also learned about the extent of cooperation between u.s. spy agencies and foreign governments.
